Avi files on appletv. - Wafflasy - 2023-10-02
Hello all! I tried to play a .avi file on my appletv through swiftfin and it doesnt work, I was wondering if anyone knows how I might stream the .avi files I have on my appletv? If I even can

Does the video play on other devices or through the web UI? What sort of error are you getting in Swiftfin when you try to play it?

Ah sorry, I was wondering if I should've said this. It also doesnt play on the web ui and swiftfin doesnt give any error messages and just shows a black screen. The web ui says "This client isn't compatible with the media and the server isn't sending a compatible media format." when attempting to play it.

Can you share your jellyfin logs with us? And ffmpeg logs, if they exist? Sanitize WAN IPs and usernames then upload it to pastebin. Then share the link here.

Painfully late reply and I am SO SORRY. It's slipped my mind for ages due to holidays coming around.
Here's the log, I'm not quite 100% sure what you meant by sanitize and assume you meant censor them, I'll resend logs if you need me to.

What are your server specs and OS? Looks like bare metal linux. What distro? You didn't fully setup your Intel GPU for transcoding.

I think Haswell and older, you will need to use VAAPI instead of QSV. Still follow the debian/ubuntu section of that link I sent.

Looking at the link right now
